4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-3-furoic acid CAS 111301-76-9

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 184.15 g/mol gives 4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-3-furoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-3-furoic acid (CAS 111301-76-9), molecular formula C8H8O5 and molecular weight 184.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-3-furoic acid (C8H8O5) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
